Print Page - directory name with a hyphen

Title: directory name with a hyphen
Post by: smdnetau on March 08, 2020, 12:34:58 AM

Hi,

I apologise if this has been answered elsewhere. I'm having trouble trying to output the following directory structure:

1st level: 2020
2nd level: 01 - January

The 1st and 2nd level are fine except I'd like to insert a hyphen between the month number and month name.

Code Select

exiftool "-Directory<DateTimeOriginal" -d %Y/%m%B /directory

Thanks!

Any argument that has a space in it needs quotes around it. If you're on Mac/Linux, you could also escape it with a backslash.
Any OS
exiftool "-Directory<DateTimeOriginal" -d "%Y/%m - %B" /directory

Other option for Mac/linux
exiftool "-Directory<DateTimeOriginal" -d %Y/%m\ -\ %B /directory
